Microneedling for Acne Scars

You may believe that active acne is one of the most aggravating dermatological disorders you may have until you have to deal with acne scars. We’re not referring to little dark or red spots that fade with time, exfoliation, and scar-fading spot treatments. 

Instead, we’re talking about atrophic scarring, also known as indented scars, which occur beneath the upper layer of skin tissue due to severe acne that hinders the skin from adequately regenerating tissue, leaving behind uneven texture in the shapes of icepick, rolling, and boxcar scars. Microneedling for Acne Scars in Abu Dhabi is the best option to deal with the problem.

Aim of Treatment:

Specialist Microneedling procedures stimulate the skin’s natural ability to regenerate and repair itself, resulting in smoother, fresher, relatively young, and healthier skin. It employs a revolutionary 16-needle cartridge, with these needles gliding over the skin to create more channels for better results with minor discomfort. It works best for resolving the following issues:

1. Scars from acne and trauma: The treatment is intended to rejuvenate and restore the skin by stimulating collagen production, effectively treating scars.
2. Stretchmarks: It promotes collagen and elastin production in the skin, resulting in new skin tissue that is smoother, firmer, and more toned.
3. Photo-damaged and aging skin: Microneedling can also be used to restore and improve sun-damaged skin.

How Does it Work?

Using the Microneedling headpiece, we can precisely control needle depth and create thousands of little columns in the dermis of your skin, encouraging natural collagen production. The inclusion of cells improves the structure of the dermis.

Treatments can be enhanced by adding a Platelet Rich Plasma PRP serum, which accelerates and enhances the rejuvenation process.

Preparation:

If you have a Microneedling appointment, there are a few things you should do ahead of time.

• In the week leading up to your appointment, limit your alcohol intake and avoid anything that could obstruct healing.
• Stay out of the sun for at least 24 hours before your appointment.
• Finally, before going to the clinic, make sure your face is clean and bare.

Your dermatologist will provide you with these details during your initial consultation and in the days leading up to your appointment. The procedure takes 30 to 60 minutes to complete. Your dermatologist will use a numbing medicine beforehand, even if uncomfortable.

Procedure:

The following steps will be followed during the treatment:

1. Before the procedure, your practitioner will numb your skin with a topical anesthetic for your comfort. Next, they will perform the treatment, which will take 45-60 minutes depending on the area being treated, using a particular Microneedling technique.
2. Your skin may feel warmer and tighter than usual immediately after your treatment, and you will appear to have mild sunburn. Your practitioner may apply a post-procedure product to help your skin recuperate.
3. Treatment regimens vary based on the issue being addressed, but you should expect 3-6 treatments spaced out over six weeks.

Aftercare and Recovery:

The majority of people do not require any rehabilitation time following the Microneedling process. Because the method is non-invasive, you can go about your routine as usual.

However, you may experience some irritation due to the needles’ little damage. There may be some redness as well.

Because your skin will be susceptible, your dermatologist will advise you to use sunscreen or avoid the sun for a brief period of time.

After a few weeks, you should see some benefits. However, you may need multiple sessions to maintain these effects and attain your target skin.
